Lewiston Auburn Senior College

IN-PERSON at SCHOONER

In light of the tragedy that took place in Lewiston on October 25th, this course would be a very important one for gaining a better understanding of what drives our behaviors as human beings and defines why we are who we are. As used by psychologists, the term "personality" involves the psychological characteristics that give individuals a distinct and somewhat stable and predictable style of responding to the world as they see it. There are five personality styles known as the "big five" which have been recognized as those that are the most important for understanding people's personalities and behaviors . These five are extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openess and these will be the focus of this course. Participants will have the opportunity to assess their personality styles, and how it impacts their own behaviors and defines why they are who they are.
